In the rain...
I spent a bit of time this morning giving Dorothy a bit of a going over and managed to change most of her settings and reprogramme the b***h, even to the point of turning off her voice. But after she behaved herself getting us easily out of Bruges, I gave her back her voice and she is now taking us the easiest way to our next destination. We arrived here about 2pm, parked up the TinMan at Camping Zeeburg, and took the tram into town. It's a rainy old day here in the 'dam. Luckily there are quite a number of cosy little cafes to duck into when you want to warm up. We found that we needed 3 stops during our wanderings!!! Having located the central station we managed to find the correct tram and stop to get off and will rest tonight before hitting the town once again tomorrow. We are staying for two nights here and it will be good to have a day off from driving to the next spot. Dean really wishes he had a faster vehicle on these motorways but he gets the van up to a decent speed! Hope all is well with everyone

Looks cold
Hi guys. Boy it sure looks a bit chilly over there at the moment but you are both tough enough to take it I am sure. We finally had some welcome rain yesterday and overnight so tank full again. Getting cooler - nearly had to put me old slippers on getting out of bed this morning but the sky is now a brilliant cloudless blue so looks like another hot one coming up. The wedding I am supposed to do on Thursday next week might not happen. The bride to be arrived up from New Plymouth and went to the Court in Whangarei, forgot to take my details with her and named someone completely different as her celebrant. duhhhhh. When I rang to check out how she went she said "what was your name again" I told her and she said Oh thought it was Margaret so I put down the one from Maungaturoto..... But I still want you to do it" Told her probably not but she is determined to ring Court on Monday and simply tell them to change the name. God some people should not be allowed out of the house on their own. Will keep you posted on that one lololol. All well here. Haven't used the car Dean and probably wont but will start it up now and again to keep it running o.k. Stay warm and safe my loves. xxxxx lotsa love - Ma

Poor Dorothy
Poor Dorothy! Maybe you should programme in 'Wizard of Oz' and she will take you on the right road. Just finished the Relay for Life as past of NKA team - 24 Hours of walking. Great atmosphere but our site was lame - too serious - next year the Bream Bay team reckon they are going to have their own site and party!! I will be going their way - don't know if I can get the Riverside team to join us! Bit tired today but least the legs are still working - the old girl must have gas in her yet! Hope you are enjoying your rest day and checking out more decor inside cafes!
